Just because ambrosia was the name given to the food and drink of the mythological gods doesn't mean it's excluded from mqn's enjoyment. This refreshing Coconut Ambrosia Continental looks elaborate but is simple to prepare by layering flaked coconut with oranges, bananas and chunk pineapple. Build the celebration around this light ambrosia served with sparkling champagne and delicate sandwiches prepared with a variety of fillings and breads, such as thin slices of ham, turkey and cheese on pumpernickel, white bread rounds or rye squares. Use a contemporary design glass serving bowl to show off layered flaked coconut and fruits. Coconut Ambrosia Continental oranges, sectioned medium bananas, sliced 2 cans (8-1/4 oz. each) chunk pineapple in syrup, drained 2 cups coconut Layer half of the oranges, bananas, pineapple and coconut in serving bowl; repeat layers. Garnish with additional orange sections, if desired. Chill. Makes 8 cups or 12 servings. Note: Recipe may be halved. Scouts Take Part In Outdoor Experiences Any community would be content to have one lovely queen to represent it at festivals and area activities, but McHenry has two charming young women to boast of this summer. Erin Mullen, 21, is Miss McHenry for Fiesta Days 1961, but due to an un­ foreseen variation in rules for Miss McHenry County, will be unable to represent her hometown at the County fair contest Aug. 5 in Woodstock. Miss Mullen will be 22 shortly after Fiesta Days comes to an end, and in so doing was still eligible for the local contest. However, the rules for Miss McHenry will be adjusted for next year to correspond to the county restriction of "may not be 22 before Jan. 1 of the coming year." While this is an unfortunate development for the poised Miss Mullen, it is a big opportunity for 18- year-old Deborah Poteracki to demonstrate why she was such an excellent choice as first runner-up in the Miss McHenry contest. The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Poteracki of Dutch Creek, Deborah will ably fulfill her duties representing this community in the county queen coptest. The pretty, dark-haired queen is a 1981 graduate of Johnsburg high school, and is also a recent graduate of a beautician school. As first runner-up in the local pageant, Miss Poteracki knew she would have to be ready if she should be called upon to fulfill any duties Erin Mullen could not, but she never thought it would be so substantial a task as competing for the title of Miss McHenry County. Now participating in all the county contest preliminaries, Deborah is preparing for the big night on Aug. 5 when she could possibly become Miss McHenry County, and go on to compete for Miss Illinois State fair. This summer, if anyone asks, "Will the real Miss McHenry stand up?", two personable young women could stand and take a bow. Not often are titles shared, but that is Just about what happened this week following the Miss McHenry contest. Erin Mullen, 21, is Miss McHenry for Fiesta Days 1981, but fails to meet the age requirement for the McHenry County fair and the Illinois State fair competition. For that reason, Deborah Poteracki, first runner-uup in the McHenry contest, will represent her home community on the county level early in August. Above, Miss Poteracki wears her runner-up banner; Miss Mullen is adorned by her Miss Congeniality banner; and both hold the important ribbon that designates Miss McHenry 1981.

More than 140 Scout troops already have signed up to attend week long sessions at Camps Lowden and Canyon. Dale Smith, program director, explained that each troop goes to summer camp with its own troop leaders and camps with each patrol operating as an individual unit within a specific troopsite. "While in summer camp, Scouts have the opportunity to develop leadership skills, participate in advancement, and develop in personal fitness," Smith said. "In addition, the experience strengthens the troop's ability to deliver an effective Scout ing program throughout the year." Boys who are at least 11 years of age and ^tave completed the fifth/grade are eligible to register with a troop and attend camp this summer. Cub Scouts have attended Cub Scout day camps in Rockford, Oregon and Woodstock. The day camp program is designed to meet the needs and interests of boys 8 through 10 years of age and their packs. "Not only is day ^cpmp fun, it offers adventure with a purpose," Smith pointed out, adding that it is part of scout ing ' s educa t iona l program for youth. More than 700 Cub Scouts attended this year's programs. HOSPITAL NOTES WOODSTOCK / Admissions: Daniel McNamara and Master Ryan Robson, both of McHenry ; Edward CrBrien of Wonder Lake.
